Anantara Eastern Mangroves Hotel & Spa

Almost 2 years ago me and my family came to the lunch buffet in the hotel at ingredients restaurant , it was absolutely 5 stars and the food options there were unlimited, from middle eastern to asian cuisines everything was there. There was a large facility of deserts too. The live barbequing was also amazing, we absolutely loved it. The food quality was so good and the staff were really helpful and nice to us . This was a really memorable trip we had as a family and I definitely recommend it!

Felt like a serene bridge between city life and nature. From the poolside, the view opened to endless mangroves, their calm waters reflecting the sky like a mirror. I spent my time soaking in the quiet beauty sipping something cool, feeling the warm breeze, and watching the gentle rhythm of the tides. It wasn’t just a stay; it was a reminder that even in the heart of Abu Dhabi, you can find a sanctuary where time moves slower and your mind feels lighter.

I booked a room with pool for three days for my anniversary and we were so excited, after a long roadtrip from another city we reached the hotel and wanted to check in, they simply said the room has guests inside and they are staying we cant give u the room, NEVER COMING BACK AND HAD A BAD MEMORY THERE!

While the location and accessibility met expectations, the service and room quality fell short of the 5-star standard. However, the infinity pool overlooking the mangroves provided a serene escape. It's worth noting the absence of a dedicated kids' pool, only a shallow baby pool. Overall, it was a peaceful stay with some room for improvement in service and amenities.

We have stayed here quite a few times due to the lovely location of the hotel and gorgeous views over the mangroves. Kayaking is available right beside the hotel. Highly recommend the roof top bar (especially during happy hour from 5-8pm), we had a few cocktails and enjoyed the view. Background music was upbeat and dynamite shrimp was really tasty. Bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Breakfast on our balcony was brought to us by the charming Sabirau who was lovely and cheerful.

We only stayed one night at the Anantara as part of a staycation. The booking process had a slight hitch in the payment, but the room and rate were held for us anyway. |We booked dinner, bed and breakfast which was amazing value

We had an amazing stay here, beautiful hotel with the most serene and green views of the mangroves. We felt very relaxed and the perfect way to recharge. Excellent facilities (gym, spa, pool etc) and excellent service. The breakfast is one of the best hotel breakfasts! Will definitely come here again.

This hotel is just amazing! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, they help you with everything you need. The rooms are well equipped and decorated as well as really clean. Pool area is great with an amazing view. The hotel is really clean and just super beautiful. Also, the staff is always so friendly, smiling and just amazing. Those people are so lovely, it makes you feel so welcome. I would always come back, I’d give 10 stars if possible :)
